QUEEN KAPIOLANI.
The Royal Party Leave Boston After
a Weeks visit.

From Boston Exchanges, Nay 18TH
The forenoon rounded out with fair
skies and kindly farewells, the series OF
Boston courtesies to Hawaiian Royalty,
which for a week past We'd in varied at
traction with the best of Boston hospital
1tv. and elected most cordial acknowledge
ments from tie Queen at parting. Large
gatherings were to be seen at tie Boston
and Albany station at IL a. m. to-day, Ow-
ing to the announcement that the Queen
and party would leave Boston at that time
and place and many, when they discov-
cred that the carriages were not at haTFe,
proceeded to the Columbus avenue sta
ton, expecting that the popular curiosity
would be evaded by taking the train there.
1t was soon learned that, owing to the fact
that a prominent member of the party
had returned somewhat late from New
York, and also that the Queen had found
one or two hours later more convenient
for her, it was decided to defer the de-
parture to 1 p. m. on the Shore Line.
During the forenoon hours
LARGE GATHERING
Filled the space in School street opposite
the Queens apartments, the presence of
carriages there having given the impress
sion that she was about to leave No for
malities occurred during the forenoon, the
hustle of preparation precluding anything
ceremonious, but Mayor O'Brien and Mrs.
O'Brien and a few personal friends called
to tender the parting courtesies. At 1920
D. m. carriages were taken for the Boston
and Providence station, where a special
car was provided for the Royal party.
PARTING SCENES.
The scenes at leaving the Parker House
and taking the train were enlivened by
the animated interest shown by the spec
tatOrs particularly in the ceremony pecu-
liar to the Hawaiians of placing a floral
wreath around the neck in token of appre-
citation. The Queen placed around the
necks of the Mayor and the members of
the committee floral wreaths, which she
had made with her own hands. All the
members of the departing company were
similarly decorated
Carriages were taken at the door at
1870, and the party were driven rapidly
to the Providence station, where they
were to take the 1 o'clock train for New
York
AT THE DEPOT.
The Queen and Princess were escorted
from the side entrance of the station down
the long platform to their special drawing
room car, the "Pequot, by Mayor O'Brien
and Councilman WhalI, proceeded by
squad of policemen. There was a crowd
of people, many of them friends who had
come to see the party off, but no noise or
demonstration. Both the Queen and
Princess were dressed ia black, and car
ried
HUGE BOUQUETS
OF lovely roses, the Queen having in her
hand also the little fan of Hawaiian make,
which has been before mentioned, and
which she seems to consider almost in the
light of an amulet.
he escorting party remained till the
last moment with the departing guests.
and the good-byes and hand-shakings
were fervent eand prolonged, while the
most cordial invitations were given to
"Come out to the Islands sometimes, you
know.
"Just convince your people on the paper
that it is necessary for you to write us up
out in Hawaii" said jolly Colonel Boyd.
- Slau nope 10 see you Cnere.
A LITTLE FUN.
AS soon as the train had started the re-
porters, of whom there was a little million
present, closed up around the Mayor and
the rest and put them through a little
good-natured guying about the rosy
bonds" in which they found themselves, and
some one made laughing illusions about
lambs led to the slaughter" while an
other asked a certain Councilman if his
wreath was of "w(hlall flowers" But he
was promptly suppressed for his bad pun.
The Queen and her suite are to remain
incog. at the Victoria in New York until
about the first of June, when they sail for
England.
INVITATION FROM QUEEN VICTORIA.
Queen Victoria has sent cablegram in
vitation to Queen Kapiolani, inviting the
latter to be her guest from the 8th of June
till the end OF the mouth, for the Jubilee
festivities, and the party will sail so as to
arrive at about the date mentioned.
The Queen I'm New York.
From New York Tribune, May 18th.
Queen Kapiolani began the day yester-
day by receiving deputation of United
States naval officers at the Victoria Hotel.
They came to extend her an invitation to
visit the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Commo-
dore Gherardi was at the head of the dep
utation, and those who accompanied him
were Captain a. P. Cooke, Commander of
the Brooklyn Navy Yard; Colonel Charles
Haywood, of the Marine Corps, and Lieut..
J. J. Hunker, the COmmOdores aide. The
Queen said that she hoped to visit the
Navy Yard next weeks prior engagements
would prevent her from going sooner
VISITING THE FORTS.
About IL o'clock Her Majesty and all her
party except the Princess, who was slightly
indisposed, left the hotel in closed car
riages, drove to the foot of West Twenty
fourth street, and boarded the cutter At
lantic, of Governors Island, in charge of
Major A. 2. Sanger. The Hawaiian colors
were hoisted and the cutter headed down |
